No maiden ever had been wooed

Sometimes he at the ceiling gazed,
Sometimes his glance would stray

He looked another way.

John from his mouth withdrew.
And said: 81 won't: don't think, Miss Jane,
That I'd do that to you,'
A deeper silence then ensued

A frown James visage wore.
And thus they sat till half-past ten,
And when John rose to 20,
And asked if he might call again,
